Well, I received the AA's. As a quick test I plugged them into my F9 
box, after using the olpc ifcfg-files as a template, with very little 
fiddling I think I have them running under F9. I'll post the diff later.
More testing when the xo gets here, or my friend with a laptop.

What does need work is the network_config file, and the idea of running 
it on boot, you need to pass the server_number to the script right?
Can't do that on boot, and by default on F9 and the livecd there is no 
ifcfg-eth0 file to work with anyway.

If this xs-conf is meant to be a rpm then would the *_config files not 
live better in /sbin and the ifcfg-* and *.conf file templates in 
/usr/share/xs-config?

On a second machine I used the current livecd to install (that could use 
a bit of work), once rebooted, I pointed the yum repos to F9 and my 
custom repo and ran yum upgrade. The custom repo has just a rpm to 
fake-out the deps the are in the current install.

Things went well, and upon reboot, I have a running olpc F9 box, I just 
have to migrate the ifcfg- config files from my workstation to the 
server, and continue testing. Looks good so far.

More later,

Jerry
